Little did we know that our trip to Niigata would bear the fruit
of fellowships between
three Rotary clubs from three different countries, namely Japan, Hong Kong
& Russia.
We were all connected through our sister club the Rotary Club of Niigata.
This is the
true spirit of the Rotary movement. We are forever grateful to President
Junichiro Ogi
of the Rotary Club of Niigata for bringing about this union of the Rotary
movement. This
occasion made us all proud to be Rotarians. These web pages will serve to
remind us of the
short but happy times we have spent together.
